The course is this - there is a couple of links and a FB page

The full price is fairly expensive (I got it on an Xmas deal) but I think it is totally worth it. You get heaps of textures and brushes and stuff as part of it and there is a forum with lots of places to discuss stuff (tho not a lot happening in there at the moment)

Its a really well designed professional course and you can tell from my images I have learnt HEAPS - I have had PS for 2 years and never used it and now look at me :) Using layer masks and blend modes, removing powerlines and all sorts! And Im only partway thru Module 2 :)

keep an eye out on Digital Photography School - DPS run special deals now and then, which is how I got my deal, I signed up and get them emailed (they have other good deals as well so its free and worth the occasional email)

Im glad you like the peacock, I was being quite experimental there, and a bit nervous as to how it might be recieved, but *I* like him :)

The full price makes me blanch. This year will be the year of courses (and not just buying them, but actually doing them) - I've accumulated a number of things, mostly on Udemy, and am starting to work my way through; I've got a photoshop course on my list of things-to-do. (<$10 for courses on the whole Adobe Suite was not a deal I could pass up).

Being experimental is _hard_. I've been doing more of that over the last year thanks to a fantastic meetup group that comes together once a month to just mess about with something - origami, drawing, play dough, whatever - and it took me a good while to dare to _just do_ regardless of how terrible the results will be. But I still feel that everything I do has to be bad because I'm the person doing them and I'm bad at art.
